Hey all. Hope this cold weather is signs of things to come in the way of snow! -44 here with the windchill. Ain't fit for man or beast.
OK the reason I'm posting
I have noticed when hooked up to a empty trailer ( 5 or 6 different ones so far) bumper, or Fifth wheel when I apply my truck brakes ( digital trailer brake control set to 8)via the peddle on the floor my trailer brakes come on strong and slow / hold the truck back with no load on / in trailer. Now when I add a load turn my brakes controller up apply the brakes the truck ends up doing most if not all the breaking. I have noticed and currently figuring out the culprit that my left turn signal and break light fails to come on but should not be the cause as it works when trailer is empty. I have checked and rechecked the plugs on the truck (7 way) for proper wiring and all is good. I hooked to multiple trailers and eliminated them as suspects ( breaks work fine on other tow vehicles) any suggestions as to the problem
